The Miami Heat's recent drafting record is strong, but Precious Achiuwa stands out as a missed opportunity. Currently unassigned to an NBA team, there are concerns regarding his fit within the Heat's system. Drafted No. 20 in 2020, Achiuwa saw limited playing time in Miami and was part of a sign-and-trade for Kyle Lowry. After spending time with Toronto and New York, where he showed promise as a backup big, his future remains uncertain, especially with the Heat looking for a more defensively oriented big man.
Precious Achiuwa, selected No. 20 overall in the 2020 NBA Draft, has not found a team despite his potential and previous performance as a backup big.
After his rookie season with Miami, Achiuwa was traded in a deal for Kyle Lowry and later moved to New York but now faces uncertainty with the Knicks.
At 25 years old, Achiuwa possesses a unique skill set that makes him deserving of another opportunity in the NBA before training camp.
The Miami Heat, while needing a backup big, are unlikely to consider Achiuwa due to his fit and their preference for a more defensively focused player.
